What Does “Security” Mean to You?
• See worksheet, Q1 + Q2
• (Feel free to answer Q4 + Q5 now or later)
9/25/2019 CSE 484 / CSE M 584 - Autumn 2019 25
How Systems Fail
Systems may fail for many reasons, including:
• Reliability deals with accidental failures
• Usability deals with problems arising from operating mistakes made by users
• Security deals with intentional failures created by intelligent parties
– Security is about computing in the presence of an adversary
– But security, reliability, and usability are all related
9/25/2019 CSE 484 / CSE M 584 - Autumn 2019 26
Challenges: What is “Security”?
• What does security mean?
– Often the hardest part of building a secure system is figuring out what security means
– What are the assets to protect?
– What are the threats to those assets?
– Who are the adversaries, and what are their resources?
– What is the security policy or goals?
• Perfect security does not exist!
– Security is not a binary property
– Security is about risk management
9/25/2019 CSE 484 / CSE M 584 - Autumn 2019 27
Current events, security reviews, and other discussions
are designed to exercise our thinking about these issues.
To Do
• Ethics form (due Wed October 2)
• Homework #1 (due Fri October 4)
– Now: Start forming groups (e.g., use discussion board) and thinking about events and technologies you’d like to review.
